Skills children learn
Dribbling
Ball control with both hands, changing pace and direction, eyes up and aware of the court.

Chest, bounce, and overhead pass — accuracy, timing, and reading teammates' movement.
Shooting
BEEF fundamentals — Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow-through — from age-appropriate distances and heights.
Defence
Defensive stance, footwork, positioning, and contesting without fouling — taught positively.
Court Awareness
Reading the game, finding open space, and making quick decisions under manageable pressure.
Teamwork
Moving without the ball, supporting teammates, and celebrating shared effort and improvement.
How sessions are structured
Warm-up
Movement & ball handling
Dynamic warm-up with ball-handling games that build coordination and raise energy — children are active from the very first minute.
Core block
Focused skill practice
Progressive drills targeting one or two skills. Age and developmental groups work with differentiated challenges — personal best, not ranking against peers.
Jr. NBA inspired
Game time
Small-sided play
3-on-3 and 4-on-4 modified games where skills are applied in real context. Maximum participation — every child with the ball, every child contributing.
Cool down
Reflect & reset
Stretching, a highlight from the session, and one skill to focus on before next time — building self-awareness and intrinsic motivation to improve.
